Abstract

This article investigates the role theology plays in generating political action inlas Américasthrough research on the School of the Americas Watch. It commends theopolitics as a lens for analyzing the competing projects of US military training and protests against that training, both of which work under the sign of redemption. The materiality of these signs can be apprehended by asking who is saving whom from what, by what means, and for what end. Anthropological analysis of these redemption narratives reveals the regimes of the invisible that animate opposing political projects—redemption for one through imperial formations enabled by the messianic figure of the white, male, heterosexual warrior, and redemption for the other through the agential presence of the dead who haunt empire’s wake.

救赎竞赛

本文通过对“美洲观察”学派的研究，考察神学在美国境内产生政治行动中所起的作用。它赞扬政治作为一个镜头来分析美国军事训练和抗议训练的竞争项目，两者都在救赎的标志下工作。这些迹象的实质可以通过询问谁在拯救谁，用什么手段，为了什么目的来理解。对这些救赎叙事的人类学分析揭示了无形的政权激发了对立的政治计划——通过由白人、男性、异性恋战士的弥赛亚形象实现的帝国形态来救赎一个人，通过亡灵的存在来救赎另一个人。

期刊介绍： Social Analysis is an international peer-reviewed journal devoted to exploring the analytical potentials of anthropological research. It encourages contributions grounded in original empirical research that critically probe established paradigms of social and cultural analysis. The journal expresses the best that anthropology has to offer by exploring in original ways the relationship between ethnographic materials and theoretical insight. By forging creative and critical engagements with cultural, political, and social processes, it also opens new avenues of communication between anthropology and the humanities as well as other social sciences. The journal publishes four issues per year, including regular Special Issues on particular themes. The Editors welcome individual articles that focus on diverse topics and regions, reflect varied theoretical approaches and methods, and aim to appeal widely within anthropology and beyond. Proposals for Special Issues are selected by the Editorial Board through an annual competitive call.
